• [$] Protecting privacy with Tails

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Wed Nov 12 06:40:14 2025

    Tails is an unusual Linux
    distribution developed by the Tor Project; it
    is designed to help users work around internet censorship and avoid surveillance. It is a "portable" operating system that is meant to be
    run from a USB stick or ISO image and to leave no trace on the
    computer it was run on. Tails routes connections to the internet over
    the Tor
    network and includes a selection of applications and tools
    suited to working with sensitive documents, communicating securely,
    and preserving users' anonymity. The tradeoff, of course, is that
    Tails is less convenient and requires users to learn a new set of
    tools to avoid compromising their own security and anonymity. Tails˙7.1 was released in October, and it seemed like as good a time as any to take
    it for a spin.
